Feasibility Study and Design of a Stand-alone Floating Photovoltaic Structure for Toshka Lake
Summary
This engineering study assesses the feasibility of floating solar panels on Egypt's Toshka Lake, which could reduce water evaporation and generate clean energy. The study is focused on renewable energy infrastructure and is not related to microplastic research.
A novel energy production system known as floating photovoltaic technology has captured the interest of many people due to its many advantages. The floating photovoltaic system contributes to a reduction in water evaporation and an increase in energy output. The development of floating photovoltaic power plants necessitates the study of these systems from both an electrical and mechanical structure perspective for research objectives. Numerous studies have been conducted on floating photovoltaic systems from various angles that have examined these systems. The goal of this paper is to provide a standard design procedure and performance for the construction of a floating photovoltaic energy system at the surface of Toshka lake for the generation of electricity to a household using PV Syst. software. Also it provides a logical analysis and up-todate assessment of the many characteristics and elements of floating photovoltaic systems as an energy production system. The performance ratio analysis reveals that the lowest value was obtained in the month of March is 64% and the maximum value was obtained in the month of December is 82%whereas the average value for year is 71.3%. Analysis of losses has also been done.
